Shipping from Kentucky
Kentucky freight rates Shipping freight into Kentucky is generally cheaper than shipping freight out of the state. Kentucky has a very large automobile assembly industry, which can lead to a higher demand for power units coming out of the state. LTL freight shipping in Kentucky can be higher than other locations if shipping to or out of a rural destination. However, the central location of the state makes freight rates affordable. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Kentucky can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
Shipping to Arizona
Arizona freight rates Arizona freight rates are substantially affected by the produce market. Outbound freight can be expensive in the spring, summer and even fall months due to the warmer desert climate which creates a longer growing season. Products arriving from Mexico can also affect freight rates in Arizona. Arizona is a medium consumption state, so LTL freight rates are relatively cheap due to a moderate amount of freight moving in the state. There are numerous unpopulated desert areas, so shipping to those zip codes can be high cost. The copper industry is strong and with major railroad access, intermodal freight rates are reasonable. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Arizona can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
